2016., General, Little, Brown and company Call No: Bio L933j Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: On May 25, 1977, a problem-plagued, budget-straining independent science-fiction film opened in a mere thirty-two American movie theaters. Conceived, written, and directed by a little-known filmmaker named George Lucas, the movie originally called The Star Wars quickly drew blocks-long lines, becoming the highest-grossing film at the time, a winner of 6 Academy Awards, a cultural phenomenon and the beginning of one of the most successful-movie franchises of all time. A revelatory look into the life and times of the man who created Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Indiana Jones. Lucas went on to create another blockbuster series with Indiana Jones, and he transformed the world of special effects and the way movies sound. His innovation and ambition forged Pixar and Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, and THX sound. His entire career has been stimulated by innovators including Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola and actors such as Harrison Ford.
